Program Notes
Commissioned by the Ju Percussion Group. Premiered 3/20/07 at the National Concert Hall of Taipei, Taiwan. Video available to performing ensembles upon request.
During the first three decades of the 1900s, when a silent film was shown in Taiwan it was accompanied by a narrator. These narrators were called benzi masters. They were quite famous; more famous than the actors for whom they gave voices. For the benzi, the film was a vehicle for improvisation. A plot might insight social commentary, a comedy might become tragedy, a beautiful setting might inspire poetry...
